Did William Ayers Ghost-Write Obama Memoir?

[Interesting Times]

Here is Cashill's second article on the possible Obama/Ayers co-authorship. It provides little in the way of hard evidence, which is disappointing.

[webstersII]

“I think if you listen closely, you’ll find both Mr. and Mrs. Obama are really challenged to use the correct pronouns, tense, and agreement in regular conversation.”

After reading some excerpts from her thesis I would have to agree with you. I don’t know much about the content, but the fact that someone could write such garbage, with so many grammatical errors and creative word spellings, then actually have it published at the school shows what a couple of empty suits these two are.

[Buckhead]

It is to your credit that you noticed that Cashill does not deliver.

The notion that Cashill has established common authorship is truly absurd, and all the speculations piled upon that flimsy premise are more of a symptom than an argument.

[Interesting Times]

I agree that it’s purely speculation to this point. Cashill aside, the question is an interesting one. Sans teleprompter, Obama gives very little evidence of the complexity of thought that informs his books. One one occasion, when asked about the recommendations for Social Security reform described in “Audacity,” Obama seemed quite unfamiliar with what he had ostensibly written.

And, of course, the use of a skilled ghost to supplement a political talent’s resume isn’t a new concept.

The small sample provided of two sentences with similar constructions does not establish the truth of the matter. You could go to the link provide by Jack Cashill for more examples that support his contention that there is mounting evidence supporting his contention.

Patterns are not codes found details, which you seem fixated on. It is the structure and cadence of the two sentences that seem similar. However, I think you know this lurker....which is why you choose to not create an about page.

Don’t you think it would have been more useful to compare passages from each book, as a way of evidence. What Cashill says there is interesting, but not really compelling.

[attiladhun2]

Also, other writing samples from Comrade Ayers.

[attiladhun2]

But, hey, he can read a teleprompter just beautifully.

[attiladhun2]

Proof of his poor academic performance is the fact that he was not offered a prestigious law clerk position even after editing HLR. Furthermore, his teaching career has been anything but stellar.

[attiladhun2]

What bothers me about Slow Joe, aka “Plugs,” is that he insists on smearing the truck driver, who accidentally killed his wife and child, as a drunken driver. The police cleared him of any wrong-doing. More than likely Mrs. Biden failed to look both ways before pulling away from the stop sign.

[MHGinTN]

It is very possible that the blind spot we all have in the eyeball caused her to look and not see what was coming. It is tragic, but Joe Biden makes it more than just atragedy by accusing the poor truck driver of being the drunken cause of the accident, contrary to what the actuall accident report and investigation established! That is exploiting his wife and child’s deaths for his own empowerment!

Of course, that shouldn’t surprise us since the demcorat party has yused the slaughter of millions as a means to empower their political capital.

[attiladhun2]

Everyone’s writing style is as unique as a fingerprint. The only trouble is that Obama is no scholar. He has written little, including his own two memoirs.

[attiladhun2]

Thanks for your legal perspective. If Ayers is the true author of Dreams, it would reveal another Obama lie, that Ayers was "just a guy in his neighborhood," as if every neighborhood in the country has its resident terrorist.

[attiladhun2]

I don’t know, criminals have been convicted using forensic handwriting analysis. I think you could show with reasonable certainty that Ayers was the author.

[attiladhun2]

I’ll bet you a c-note that Ayers was the dominant one in the relationship, with Obama the admiring pupil lapping up every word about Ayers’ days as a fugitive terrorist.

[attiladhun2]

Similar results from long passages would clinch it, I think, that the same writer wrote both books.

[attiladhun2]

Shoot, maybe he is just lipsincing canned speeches polished beforehand. Could the teleprompter be just a prop? Enquiring minds want to know.

[attiladhun2]

Yeah, no kidding. You wonder if this wasn't an attempt to write the "Leader's" bio before he became the great Leader.

Kinda like Mein Kampf, eh?

[attiladhun2]

Or, Obama may have just been enamored of Ayers’ writing and tried to emulate it

I think Obama is incapable of even that. I would not be surprised of he lipsincs his speeches, and the teleprompter is there for a prop.
